When Hope Shatters

I wasn't always a monster. I used to be a mortal girl. I used to have flowing blond hair and sun kissed freckles. I used to have a family that loved me. I used to go to school and make friends. I used to run around on the playground with my dollies. I used to beg for candy at night. I used to hear my mother sing me to sleep. I used to regret waking up in the morning because of school. I used to dream that I would be something more in life than just a small town girl. But then everything changed.
